Two areas of archaeology were noted during monitoring of this project. Area A contained two pits and a small spread. One of the pits was interpreted as a receptacle for hearth material while the other contained several sherds of prehistoric pottery. One Bronze Age vase food vessel, two cordoned urns and a single Late Bronze Age coarseware vessel were represented by the assemblage. The spread contained sherds of pottery representative of a single, undecorated Neolithic carinated bowl. Area B contained two small hearths. Fragments of a Bronze Age vase food vessel and a cordoned urn were recovered from one of these hearths.
